Abstract

Standing element or standard, formed by a number of standard folding parts, each of which, along two opposite sides in the form of folding lines, is connected to another, which standard folding parts may be folded along the folding lines from a folded up position, in which the surfaces of the standard folding parts are situated on top of or against one another, to an unfolded position, in which the surfaces of the standard folding parts are situated at a distance from each other, thus enabling the standard to stand, whereby at the bottom side or placing side of the standard near the edge parts of at least two standard folding parts a supporting part is connected, formed by at least two supporting folding parts, whereby the supporting folding parts may be unfolded along one or more folding lines from a folded up position to an unfolded position, such that the supporting folding parts in the unfolded position lie in one plane with the placing side of the standard.

Description

  • The invention relates to a standing element or a standard, formed by a number of standard folding parts, each of which, along two opposite sides in the form of folding lines, is connected to another, which standard folding parts may be folded along the folding lines from a folded up position, in which the surfaces of the standard folding parts are situated on top of or against one another, to an unfolded position, in which the surfaces of the standard folding parts are situated at a distance from each other, thus enabling the standard to stand.
  • Such a standard is known.
  • On such a standard a part, such as a top or a display, may be mounted, for the use in for instance shops. The standard usually is formed by cardboard, and is delivered to the user in folded up form, after which the user unfolds the standard and places this down onto the floor. Because the standard, before its delivery, often has been in its folded up form for quite some time, this standard has a tendency, after it has been unfolded, to return to its former, folded up pos- it ion, which negatively affects the stability of the standard.
  • With a known standard, the standard folding parts are retained in the unfolded position by means of rubber bands. After a while however these rubber bands tend to break. Further, these rubber bands give the standard an appearance that is not particularly attractive.
  • It is an object of the present invention to improve the known standard.
  • The standard according to the invention thereto is characterized in that at the bottom side or placing side of the standard near the edge parts of at least two standard folding parts a supporting part is connected, formed by at least two supporting folding parts, whereby the supporting folding parts may be unfolded along one or more folding lines from a folded up position to an unfolded position, such that the supporting folding parts in the unfolded position lie in one plane with the placing side of the standard.
  • According to a further characteristic of the standard according to the invention the supporting part is connected to the edge parts of at least two, in the unfolded position opposite each other situated, standard folding parts.
  • According to another characteristic of the standard according to the invention, the supporting folding parts are connected to the edge parts of the standard folding parts, such that the supporting folding parts in the folded up position protrude outside or underneath in the direction of the placing side of the standard.
  • According to yet another characteristic of the standard according to the invention, the standard in the unfolded position in top view has a rectangular section, and is formed by six rectangular standard folding parts, while two standard folding parts are situated opposite each other, and two pairs of standard folding parts are situated opposite each other, and wherein the supporting part has a rectangular shape and is connected with two opposite ends to two, opposite each other situated, parts of the edge parts of the two pairs of standard folding parts, while the supporting part by means of two or more folding lines is divided into three or more supporting folding parts. The invention will be further explained by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings of two embodiments.
  • The figures 1, 2 and 3 show side views of an em- bodi ment of a standing element or standard according to the invention in folded up position, half unfolded position and unfolded position respectively.
  • The figures 4, 5 and 6 show side views of another embodiment of a standing element or standard according to the invention in folded up position, half unfolded position and unfolded position respectively, wherein the standing element or standard is provided with a display.
  • The figures 7, 8 and 9 show partly, in top a side view, and below a bottom view, successive folding positions of the embodiment according to the figures 4 to 6.
  • As is shown in the figures 1 to 3, the standing element or standard 1 is formed by standard folding parts 2, which along folding lines 3 may be unfolded, from a folded up position (figure 1), in which the surfaces 4 of the standard folding parts 2 are situated on top of or against each other, to an unfolded position (figures 2 and 3), in which the surfaces 4 of the standard folding parts are situated at a distance from each other, such that the standard may stand with its placing side or bottom side 5 on the floor.
  • At the bottom side 5 of at least two standard folding parts 2, near the edge parts 6, a supporting part 7 is connected, which is formed by two supporting folding parts 9, which are divided by a folding line 8. In figure 1 the supporting part 7 is shown in the folded up position, and in figure 2 in half unfolded position. In figure 3 the supporting part 7 is positioned in one plane with the placing side 5 and the floor of the shop.
  • While placing the standard down onto the floor the supporting part 7, which protrudes outside and underneath, after this comes into contact with the floor, is forced in the unfolded position by the floor, such that the supporting folding parts 9 come to lie in one plane with the floor of the shop and the placing side 5 of the standard 1, while at the same time the standard folding parts 2 which are connected to the supporting part 7 are forced away from each other.
  • As is shown in the embodiment according to figures 4, 5 and 6, a display 10 may be mounted onto the standard.
  • This may be mounted onto one or more folding parts 11 which are connected to the standard folding parts 12.
  • As is shown in figure 9, the embodiment according to the figures 4 to 9 has in its unfolded position a rectangular section, while two standard folding parts 12 are situated opposite each other, and two pairs of standard folding parts 13 are situated opposite each other. The supporting part 7 has, as is shown in the unfolded position in figure 9, a rectangular section, and is connected with two opposite ends 14 and 15 to two opposite parts 16 of the edge parts 6 of the standard folding parts 13. The supporting part is divided by means of two folding lines 8 into three supporting folding parts 9, such that the supporting part 7 in the folded up position of the standard is folded up protruding outside and underneath.
  • When the standard is placed down, the folded supporting part 7 (figures 4, 5 and 6) will come into contact with the floor, by which the supporting part is forced open and the total of the supporting folding parts 9 will come to lie in one plane with the floor and the placing surface 5 of the standard, while at the same time the standard folding parts 13 are forced away from each other, such, that these, as long as the standard remains on the floor, cannot move back into the folded up position.
  • In a favourable manner the supporting part 7 is provided with another folding part 17 which may be glued to the inside of the edge parts 6 of the standard folding parts 13, and in this manner pushes the standard folding parts 13 away from each other.
